4. Installation
4.1 Installation
- Couper l'alimentation : Repérez votre disjoncteur et coupez l'alimentation électrique de votre système de chauffage et de climatisation.
- Supprimer l'ancien thermostat : Carefully remove your old thermostat from the wall. Take a picture of the wiring before disconnecting any wires.
- Install Nest Base: Mount the Nest Base to the wall using the provided screws and anchors. Ensure the base is level.
- Wire the Nest Thermostat: Connect your system's wires to the corresponding terminals on the Nest Base. The Nest Thermostat is compatible with most 24V heating and cooling systems. A C-wire (common wire) is often recommended for consistent power, especially with systems that do not provide continuous power to the thermostat. If you do not have a C-wire, the Nest Thermostat may still work by 'power stealing' from other wires, but this can lead to intermittent issues.
- Afficher l'écran : Snap the Nest Thermostat display onto the Nest Base.
- Restaurer l'alimentation : Remettez le courant au disjoncteur.

- Ajouter un appareil : Follow the in-app instructions to add your Nest Thermostat. You will typically scan a QR code on the thermostat or enter a 6-digit entry key.
- Se connecter au Wi-Fi : The app will guide you through connecting your thermostat to your home Wi-Fi network. This enables remote control and smart features.
- La configuration initiale: Complete the initial setup questions regarding your home type, heating/cooling system, and preferences.
Note for Refurbished Units: If you are setting up a refurbished unit and encounter issues connecting to the app, you may need to perform a factory reset and then use the website home.nest.com to add the device. After resetting the Wi-Fi connection on the thermostat, it may provide a 7-digit entry key (e.g., 123-ABCD) which can be entered on the website to link the thermostat to your account.

5.2 Fonction d'apprentissage
The Nest Thermostat learns your preferred temperatures over time. Adjust the temperature manually for a few days, and the thermostat will begin to build a schedule based on your habits. Look for the Nest Leaf icon on the display, which indicates an energy-saving temperature setting.
5.3 Planification
While the thermostat learns automatically, you can also create or modify a custom schedule through the Nest app or directly on the device. This allows for precise control over your home's temperature throughout the day and week.
5.4 Télécommande et commandes vocales
Use the Google Nest app on your smartphone or tablet to control your thermostat from anywhere. You can also integrate your Nest Thermostat with voice assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for hands-free control. For example, say "Hey Google, set the thermostat to 72 degrees" or "Alexa, turn up the heat."

7. Dépannage
- Pas d'alimentation/Écran éteint : Check your circuit breaker. Ensure the thermostat display is properly seated on the base. If your system lacks a C-wire, ensure the AA batteries are fresh.
